“Scurvy chimps ahoy! C'mon ye yellowbellies. Try an' cross Klubba's bridge without payin. I dare ye!”

—Klubba, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Klubba's Kiosk is a small outpost operated by Klubba in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is where he was assigned by Kaptain K. Rool to prevent others from entering the Lost World, though Diddy and Dixie Kong can bribe him with Kremkoins to enter the area.

History

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Klubba's Kiosk has a rundown shack, with TOLL painted on the roof, and a small wooden plank for crossing a polluted swamp (judging from an overturned oil drum), and a punching bag with Diddy's face and a pair of boxing gloves appear in the background. The hollow trees in the background suggest that Klubba's Kiosk takes place near a spooky forest. A Klubba's Kiosk appears in most worlds except Gangplank Galleon and The Flying Krock. When Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong visit, Klubba gives them a few options: Pay Up, Paying fifteen Kremkoins to Klubba opens access to the Monkey Museum and a specific level in the Lost World, depending on the Klubba's Kiosk; Fight Him!, where Klubba swings his club at the Kongs, forcing them out of the Kiosk; and Run Away, which is identical to the previous option except the Kongs leave without being attacked. If a Klubba's Kiosk a fee had already been paid is accessed, the Kongs go straight to the Golden Barrel. When the Kongs pay all 75 Kremkoins to Klubba and beat the respective levels, they can access Krocodile Kore in the Lost World from any Klubba's Kiosk. Klubba's Kiosk is the backdrop for the Cast of Characters during the ending.

The following levels can be be accessed from the corresponding Klubba's Kiosk in the following worlds:

• Jungle Jinx - Crocodile Cauldron
• Black Ice Battle - Krem Quay
• Klobber Karnage - Krazy Kremland
• Fiery Furnace - Gloomy Gulch
• Animal Antics - K. Rool's Keep

In the Game Boy Advance version, a Lost World level can be accessed from any Klubba's Kiosk if the Kongs have paid its corresponding world's Kremkoin fee. Klubba's Kiosk now also hosts a minigame, Bag a Bug, where either Diddy or Dixie have to collect fireflies around Klubba's Kiosk while being chased by Klubba. The scenery for Klubba's Kiosk also differs in each world, similarly to Kong Kollege. The outer area of Klubba's Kiosk is seen in Bag a Bug, revealing it to have a circular path, and all four ends have a small, circular corner that connects to the main pathway. Unlike previously, Klubba's Kiosk is no longer the background for the Cast of Characters, which instead depicts a variety of backgrounds.

Donkey Kong Land 2

Klubba's Kiosk in Donkey Kong Land 2

There is only one Klubba's Kiosk in Donkey Kong Land 2, and it is accessed from the Crocodile Isle map, to the left of Gloomy Gulch. Klubba's Kiosk is no longer engulfed by a polluted swamp nor does it have a Golden Barrel. Like the other supporting locations, Klubba's Kiosk is mirrored to show the supporting character, in this case Klubba, on the left side instead of the right. Klubba's Kiosk was simplified to have only two options: PAY UP, where all 47 Kremkoins have to be paid to Klubba to access the entire Lost World, after which the option changes to ENTER LOSTWORLD; and RUN AWAY, where Klubba yells at Diddy or Dixie, prompting them to leave. Klubba's Kiosk remains the backdrop for the cast roll at the end.

Profiles and statistics

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

• Instruction booklet: The towering Klubba demands payment of anyone who would cross his bridge, and he’ll only accept Kremkoins. What’s on the other side? Why would anyone want to go there? You’ll have to find out for yourself. (Hint: It’s worth it!)
• Instruction booklet (Game Boy Advance version): The towering Klubba demands payment of anyone who would cross his bridge, and he’ll only accept Kremkoins. If you’re feeling brave, why not challenge him to a little game?
